gbA lot of bad/stressful things are happening in my vicinity. Despite this, I am relatively okay and things are going well considering. Christmas will be a pain in the A, but when isn't it?
My only immediate concerns are that I have developed a new minor-yet-aggravating physical ailment (possibly a hiatal hernia) and I keep throwing myself down the YouTube instead of developing my skills (current poison of choice: former-Something Awful LPers with soothing voices). The former is mostly inconvenient. The latter is concerning; I wanted to make stuff (even shitty stuff) before semester so I was already warmed up, but while the creative part of my brain has spluttered back to life, my focus is still so bad that I am not doing anything with enough rigor to improve. It's a bit of a egg-chicken-egg situation unfortunately. Just have to try my best. After last semester being so intense, I should enjoy slacking off while I can, anyway.
I need work experience and I found a great place to volunteer, but they sent me a rejection letter... yes, a rejection letter from an unpaid position that had no formal requirements given in the position description. I'd be irritated or upset, but I'm not even surprised; it sums up what job hunting in Western Australia is like in general.
I got a nice and more importantly (in this case) upbeat email from a lecturer who also did something to help me out when she didn't have to, so I'm GUESSING I passed both units?? I hope so! I spent most of today planning the rest of my degree and it's complicated as it is without repeating anything. :D I am excited to resume study with considerably more coping mechanisms than I started with.
